Obamacare plan is 'Dickensian nightmare:' NY lawsuit

What's the prescription for this man's frustrating, fruitless quest to find a doctor on his Obamacare plan? Going to court.

A Yale Law grad is suing a New York insurer, claiming that the $620.69-per-month health plan he bought failed miserably in its promise that its website would be available to help him find a primary care physician "anytime."

Fougner, who filed the case himself, said that after he looked on Empire's site for doctors near him who were accepting new patients, it listed 30 physicians. But he soon found problems with all of those doctors, who either didn't take the Empire plan, weren't taking new patients, had disconnected numbers, had incorrect numbers listed or didn't call him back, the News noted.

And when he finally got an appointment with a doctor not on that list who thought she did accept the plan, he learned from her receptionist shortly afterward that wasn't the case.
